WHAT WE DO

Linking researchers to community

The Hub for the Study of Local Governance in Newfoundland and Labrador (SLG Hub) is a new community of researchers, stakeholders, and professionals active in social scholarship in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Social scholarship is an approach to research that focuses on investigating questions prioritized by the public, and seeks to produce actionable results.

The SLG Hub consists of two parts: a research community and a public website. We facilitate collaborative research projects in Newfoundland and Labrador focused on local public policy and governance broadly defined. Our public website shares and disseminates research findings and provides a way for local people and organizations to connect with potential research partners.

The SLG Hub is currently under development. We will be conducting several listening sessions and other community events to learn how we can best shape our resources to serve local needs.
